CATALOGUE 


OF THE 


LEPIDOPTEROUS INSECTS. 


Tribe III.— BOMBYCES. 


Tur BomByces comprise in this Catalogue all those Lepidopterous 
Tnsects which, in their metamorphosis, construct a covering or case 
(folliculus or incunabulum), which is generally called a cocoon. This 
covering is a characteristic distinction of the whole Tribe, and has in 
each Species a peculiar form, which is reproduced instinctively with 
an unvarying uniformity. It is compared very imperfectly to Spinning 
and Weaving, and the term Spinners or Weavers has been applied 
to them in the Wiener Verzeichniss.— (“ Zu ihrer Verwandlung 
spinner sie ein Gewebe. METAMORPHOSIS IN TELA.’’) 


The Bomeycss form a distinct tribe, equal in rank to the PAPILIONES 
and SpHiness, and are related to the latter by the genera Atgeria, 
Zygena, and Kusemia, and to the Noctuide by Hepialus. 

In their metamorphosis they present different types of form or 
stirpes, to which the names used in the Wiener Verzeichniss haye, 
in most cases, been appropriated. Their denominations are as 

follows, viz. :—- 


Stirps 1. Larve Sphingiformes. 


» 2 >,  Fasciculate. 
oa eaiahpomieen Ou gsilaiee 
» 4. 4 Cuspidate. 
» o- >, Verticillates. 
» 6. ,, Limaciformes.

»  Lignivore. 


It is my duty to inform the Entomological student that the sub- 

- division here proposed is, at the present period, only provisional. My 

materials consist chiefly of the collections made by myself in 

Java, and of some contributions liberally supplied by my friend 

A. Grote, Esq., from the neighbourhood of Calcutta, in Continental 
vou. II. 20 


280 CATALOGUE OF 


India; I desire, therefore, that the work may not be considered as a 
final subdivision of this Tribe. 

It is manifest to all Entomologists that the transformations in this 
Tribe have, as yet, been very imperfectly observed and recorded ; 
most of those of African, Australian, and American Lepidoptera are 
a desideratum in science, although those of Europe have been largely 
illustrated by Hiibner. The final subdivision of this Tribe, formed 
on the Metamorphosis of the several species, remains for some future 
Entomologist, who may undertake the examination and arrangement 
of this Tribe with the views applied by Vigors to Birds, and by De Haan 
to Crustacea. 

The most prominent types of form among those above enumerated 
are the following ; viz.,—Sphingiformes, Fasciculate, Cuspidate, Ver- 
ticillate, and Limaciformes, which I enumerate as those Stirpes into 
which the entire Tribe may be resolved, when more complete mate- 
rials shall have been obtained. 

Respecting the first stirps here proposed, named Sphingiformes, I 
have to state briefly, that it is divided into three sections. The first 
section contains the genera allied to the Zygzenide of authors. Of the — 
genus Eusemia, belonging to this section, we have the larve of five 
species, but unfortunately the cocoon has not been preserved. The 
second and third sections consist of genera which are variously 
arranged by authors. In Mr. F. Walker’s Catalogue of the Lepi- 
dopterous Insects contained in the British Museum, all the genera 
of our collection are placed in the family of Lithosiide; and this 
determination, formed from the examination of the perfect insect, 
agrees with the conclusion to which I have arrived from the examina- 
tion of the metamorphosis. As, however, has been observed, Ento- 
mologists entertain different views respecting the natural position of 
this extensive group. M. Latreille, in the first edition of the Régne 
Animal, vol. ii. p. 570, has the following remark:—_— - 

“Les Inthosies de Fabricius paraissent, sous plusieurs rapports 
naturels, avoisiner les Lépidoptéres de cette tribu (les Callimorphes) ; 
mais nous les placerons, 4 .raison de leur forme étroite et allongée, - 
dans la tribu des Tinéites, comme avait fait Linnzeus.” 

Mr. Stephens places them among his Lepidoptera Nocturna (Brit. 
Ent. ii. p. 88). By Mr. Westwood they form the eighth family of 
his subdivision of the Heterocera, and he mentions their close affinity 
to the aberrant Arctiide.

Remark.—M. Kollar’s description and figure of Tryp. semihyalina 
applies to the female only. The male differs in having the antenne 
thickly bipectinated (this in the female being minutely bipectinated 
and slightly clavate at the tip) ; the wings are narrower, the hyaline 
spots of the fore-wing less in size, and the two near the posterior 
angle are covered with ochreous scales; the entire dise of the hind- 
wing is hyaline. 

The larva of Tryp. semihyalina is figured in Plate XIV. fig. 6, 
copied from the original drawing in the collection of A. Grote, Esq. 
“ Feeds on Raphis lepis.”-—(Grote, MS. Note.) 

The transformations of this interesting species were also observed 
by Gen. Hardwicke, and are figured in vol. 10999, fig. 181, and 
vol. 11001, figs. 23, 26, and 90 of his original drawings, now in the

LEPIDOPTERA. 335 


Stirps I1.—Larve FASCICULATA. 


The larva of this stirps is characteristically fasciculate, being 
covered with fascicles or tufts of silken hairs; several of these tufts 
are short, dense, disposed along the back, and limited to certain seg- 
ments, while others are more lengthened, projecting anteriorly or 
posteriorly, or both anteriorly and posteriorly. In some genera these 
fascicles are replaced by short hairs arising from separate tubercles. 
Metamorphosis :—Cocoon soft, irregular on the surface, of a slight 
silken and hairy texture. 

The perfect insect has the wings broad in the male, longer, or only 
rudimentary, in the female; flies by day and evening. Antenne 
deeply bipectinated in the male, less so in the female. Proboscis very 
short, or obsolete. Abdomen of male slender, of female larger, broad, 
and generally with an anal tuft. Fore-legs very hairy.

The common Chinese silkworm of commerce. 

Pat of Bengal, Royle. 


a.b. § 9. Bred in England. Presented by Mr. F. 


Moore. 


In a “ Dissertation on the Silk Manufacture and the Cultivation of 
the Mulberry,” translated from the Chinese works of Tseu-kwang- 
k’he, called also Paul Siu, a Colao, or Minister of State, m China, and 
recently published at Shanghzx, and reprinted in 1858 at Madras, it 
is stated that ‘the earliest allusion to the mulberry and silk met with 
in the ancient writings of the Chinese is in the Historical Classic, a 
work which existed before the days of Confucius, because it is quoted 
by him, and which embraces the history of China from (B.C. 2356, 
to B.C. 722) a period of 1,634 years. In the former part of that 
period, we have the allusions referred to recorded in the section called 
the tribute of Yi, who flourished 2,200 years before Christ. In his 
days the mulberry is spoken of as a well-known production, and silk 


LEPIDOPTERA. 375 


as obtained therefrom ; so that it must have been discovered before 
his days. The usual tradition is, that it was discovered during the 
reign of Hwangté (B.C. 2640), by his queen. 

The passages in the Historical Classic, in which references to the 
mulberry and silk are made, are as follows :— In giving an account 
of Yen-chow, the south-western part of the modern Shan-tung, the 
writer says, “The mulberry region having been supplied with silk- 
worms, the people descended from the hills, and dwelt in the plains.” 
On this the commentator remarks :—“ The nature of the silkworm 
is to abhor dampness; hence is was not till the waters were abated 
that the silkworms could be reared. The nine regions of China equally 
depended upon this source of wealth; but the Yen province alone 
ig mentioned, because it was best adapted for the mulberry.” The 
Classic goes on to say, that the tribute of Yen-chow consisted 
in varnish and silk, while their tribute-baskets were filled with 
wove stuffs of various colours.” (See translation of the Shoo-king, 
pp. 91, 92.) 

In speaking of the production of Tsing-chow, the north-eastern 
part of Shan-tung, the Classic says, that “from the valley of the 
Taé mountain they brought silk and hemp; while their tribute-baskets 
were stored with the wild mulberry and silk.” The silk produced 
from the mountain mulberry is said by the commentator to be so 
tenacious, that it was peculiarly adapted for harps and guitars. 
(See translation of the Shoo-king, p. 93.) 

Black silk and chequered sarcenets are spoken of as the pro- 
duction of Tseu-chow, the southern part of Shan-tung, and the 
northern part of Kéang-soo. (See translation of the Shoo-king, 
p: 96.) ; 

The productions of King-chow, the modern Hodok-wang, where silk 
has since been cultivated to a great extent, are spoken of as consist- 
ing of black and red silks, with silk fringes. (See translation of 
the Shoo-king, p. 101.) 

The next Classic in which we find any reference to the silkworm 
is the Chow-le, or Account of the Ceremonies of the Chow dynasty, 
where it is said, that “the officer who adjusted the price of horses 

forbade the people to rear the second breed of silkworms in one 
season,’ because, in accordance with the views of astrologers, the 
horse belonged to the same constellation with the silkworms ; and 
they were therefore considered of the same origin. Conceiving that 
two things of like nature could not prosper at the same time, the 
Chinese forbade the rearing of the second breed of silkworma, lest it 

VOL. II. 3 °C 


376 CATALOGUE OF 


should be of some disadvantage to the horses. However absurd this 
notion, it shows, at the least, that the rearing of silkworms was a 
common practice at that period. 

After this, we meet with frequent references to this subject in the 
Le-ke Book of Ceremonies. This book was written partly in the 
Tsin dynasty (B.C. 204), and partly in the Han dynasty (B.C. 135); 
and gives an account of the ceremonies observed by the Chinese in 
very early antiquity. In the 6th section of this work, entitled ne 
ling, we meet with the following directions :— 

“Tn the first month of spring, orders were issued to the forester 
not to cut down the mulberry-trees ; and when the cooing doves were 
observed fluttering with their wings, and the crested jays alighting 
upon the mulberry-trees, people were to prepare the trays and frames 
for the purpose of rearing the silkworms. 

“Tn the spring season, when the empress and her ladies had fasted, 
they proceeded to the east, and personally engaged in picking the 
mulberry-leaves. On this occasion, the married and single ladies | 
were forbidden to wear their ornaments, and the usual employments 
of females were lessened, in order to encourage attention to the 
silkworms. When the rearing of the silkworms was completed, 
the cocoons were divided (for reeling), and the silk weighed (for 
weaving), each person being rewarded according to her labour, in 
order to provide dresses for the celestial and ancestorial sacrifices ; 
in all this none dared indulge in indolence.”’ 

‘From another passage of the same section we learn, that in “ the 
last month of summer, the order was given to the female officers to 
dye the silk of various colours, in order to weave checkered sarcenets, 
comprising black and white, black and green, green and red, with red 
and white checks! all which was to be done according to the ancient 
rule, without the least variation; the black, yellow, azure, and red 
tints were all to be correct and good, without the least fault, in order 
to provide dresses for the celestial and ancestorial sacrifices, and 
standards for distinguishing the high and low degrees.” 

In the 24th section of the same book, on sacrificial rites, we read, 
that “in ancient times the emperor and his princes had a public 
mulberry-garden and a silkworm establishment erected near some 
river. On the morning of the first day of the third month of spring, the 
sovereign, wearing a leather cap and a plain garment, ascertained by 
lot the chief of his three queens, with the most honourable amongst 
his concubines, and caused them to attend to the rearing of the silk- 
worms in the above-named establishment. They then brought the 


LEPIDOPTERA, Va A 


eggs of the worms and washed them in the river above alluded to; 
after which they picked the mulberry-leaves in the public garden, anu 
aired and dried them, in order to feed the worms. 

“When the season was over, the royal concubines, having com- 
pleted the business of rearing the silkworms, brought the cocoons to 
show them to the prince, when he presented the cocoons again to his 
consort; whereupon his consort said, ‘This is the material of which 
your highness’s robes are to be formed.’ Having said which, she 
covered herself with her robe, and received the cocoons. On this 
occasion, the ladies of the court were honoured with the present of a 
sheep. This was the mode in which the presentation of the cocoons 
was anciently conducted.” 

_ Hawae-nan-tsze, im the silkworm Classic, says, that “ Se-ling-she, 
the principal queen of Hwang-te (B.C. 2640), was the first to rear 
silkworms ; and the Hwang-te was induced to invent robes and gar- 
ments from this circumstance. Afterwards, when Yu regulated the 
waters (B.C. 2200), mention is made, in his work on the tribute, of 
the land adapted for the mulberry-tree having been supplied with 
‘silkworms,’ from which time the advantage thereof gradually in- 
ereased. In the Yue-ling section of the Le-ke, it is said, that in the 
last month of spring the trays and frames, with the square and round 
baskets, were to be got in readiness for the rearing of the worms, &c. 
It appears, on examination, that the queens and wives of the nobles, 
through successive generations, personally attended to the rearing of 
the silkworms ; how much more, then, ought the wives of the common 
people to busy themselves in the same. All this alludes to what was 
done in the Chow dynasty, B.C. 1000. It is recorded of Wan-te, of 
the former Han dynasty (B.C. 150), that he commanded his empress 
personally to attend to the picking of the mulberry-leaves, in order 
to prepare the sacrificial garments. King-té (B.C. 180) enjoined the 
same thing on his queen, that she might be an example to the empire. 
In the time of Yuén-té (B.C. 20), the empress-dowager Wang visited 
the silkworm establishment, leading on the empress and the different 
ladies of the court, to gather mulberry-leaves. In the time of Ming- 
té (A.D. 70), the empress, with the ladies of the princes, attended to 
the rearing of the silkworms. During the Wei dynasty, in the reign 
of Wan-té (A.D. 250), the empress attended to the silkworms at the 
northern border, according to the regulations of the Chow dynasty. 
During the Tsin dynasty, in the reign of Wod-té (A.D. 280), the 
silkworm palace was built, and the empress personally attended to 
the business of rearing the silkworms, as had been the practice 


378 CATALOGUE OF 


eee 


during the two preceding dynasties. During the Sing dynasty, in’ : 
the reign of Headu-wod (A.D. 460), the silkworm monastery was — 
built, and the empress personally gathered the mulberry-leaves, as — 


had been the practice in the preceding dynasty. 


“Tn the northern Tsé dynasty (A.D. 490), a silkworm palace was — 


erected, and the empress went in person to gather the mulberry- 


leaves. According to the regulations of the Sty dynasty (A.D. 620), — 
the empress went to the appointed place to gather the mulberry-— 


leaves. During the Tang dynasty, in the reign of Chin-kwan (A.D.650), 
the empress did the same. In the first year of the following monarch, 


Héén-k’hing (A.D. 655), and in the reign of Kéen-yuen (A.D. 747), — 
the empresses all attended to the silkworm ceremony. At the same 
time a decree was issued, requiring that the silkworms should be fed — 


“in the palace, when the empress went in person to inspect them. 
During the Sing dynasty, in the reign of K’hae-padu (A.D. 960), 


on recording the ceremonies performed at the celestial sacrifice, the 


prayer is given which was offered when the empress went in person 


to rear the silkworms. From all which we perceive that the empresses ~ 


through successive dynasties attended in person to the business of 
rearing the silkworms. By selecting these extracts from the his- 
torical documents, we have set this matter in a very clear mae and 
placed the whole at the head of our treatise.”’ 

The essay from which the preceding extract has been made, con- 
tains many other interesting details, showing the importance attached 


in the earlier periods of Chinese history to the manufacture of silk — 


generally, and especially to the cultivation of the mulberry in its 
various modifications. 

“The culture of the mulberry silkworm’ (Bombyx Mori), says 
Dr. Royle (Report on the Paris Universal Exhibition, pt. III. 
p. 216), “was early introduced into India from China, where it 
flourishes chiefly about Nankin, or in 32° of north latitude; but in 
India none of the old silk filatures extend to beyond 26° of north 


latitude. This can, I conceive, be ascribed only to the excessive heat — 


and dryness of the North-western provinces of India being unsuitable 
to the animal, besides producing a drier and harder leaf than it likes 
for its food.” 

The Rey. W. Fox, curate of West Malling, Kent, records the fact 
(see Atheneum for October 16th, 1858) of the occurrence of Bombyx 
Mori having been found in a wild state in England, and gives the 
following remarks :—“ On the 10th July, 1858, a number of silk- 
worms, estimated at from eighty to one hundred, were found under 


LEPIDOPTERA. 379 


a hedge in a place called Banksfield, near West Malling, not far from 
Maidstone, Kent. There was no appearance of the insects having 
been scattered accidentally in the place, but, on the contrary, every 
indication of their having been hatched and sustained for some time 
in the spot where they were discovered. The leaves of several plants 
in the immediate vicinity were much eaten, showing plainly that the 
larve had for some time been feeding upon them. A bush of the 
common bramble (Rubus fruticosus), among others, had been par- 
tially despoiled of its leaves. When discovered, about three-fourths 
of the whole number had spun their cocoons, which were hanging in 
all directions upon the weeds and the bramble referred to. Some 
were just commencing the spinning process, while others were yet 
in the larva state, and were feeding quietly or roving about in quest 
of suitable places in which to construct their silken cells. Both the 
silk cocoons and the remaining larve were subjected to a close 
examination by the aid of a microscope, and were compared with 
other silkworms and cocoons which had been bred or formed under 
the shelter of a house; but no perceptible difference of species could 
be discovered.”

“This species,’ says Capt. Hutton, “is an inhabitant of these 
hills (Mussooree), occurring abundantly from the Doon upwards to 
at least 7,000 feet; and the caterpillar, like that of B. Mori, feeds 
on the leaves of the wild mulberry, which grows here in our forests. 
Unlike the larva of B. Mori, however, the present species has the 
caterpillar covered with long spines, although in colouring and shape 
there is great similarity between the two. The cocoon is spun in the 
leaf, which is drawn round it, and the silk is very fine, and of a very 
pale-yellow tint. I discovered this species on the 7th May, 1842, on 
some mulberry-trees growing at an elevation of about 6,500 feet above 


300 CATALOGUE OF 


the sea, with a southern aspect. Some of the caterpillars were of a ; 
large size, and nearly full-grown at this time, whilst others were in ~ 
all their intermediate stages of growth. The caterpillar is of a pale 
yellowish cream-colour, mottled or marbled down the back and sides 
with a mixture of grey, yellow, and rufous or brownish lines; the ~ 
anterior segments of the body are mottled above with livid grey, and 
ornamented with four blackish oblong spots or ocelli placed obliquely ; 
along the back are two rows of long black spines curving backwards, 
and on the anal segment is one long spine in the middle; the two 
anterior pair of spines spring from the ocelli, and the last pair are — 
curved forwards instead of backwards like the rest; there is also on — 
each side a row of short spines springing from the base of the true 
legs. The anterior segments swell up into a hump, like those of the 
larva of B. Mori. As the caterpillar becomes mature, the rufous 
colouring fades away, and gives place to a mottling of pale livid grey ; 
the head is also mottled. It grows to about 22 inches in length, and 
spins in the leaf early in May. They are double-brooded, for mine all 
hatched in June, and deposited their eggs, a few of which produced ~ 
caterpillars that year; but the greater number remained until the 
following spring.” —(Westwood’s Cab. Orient. Ent.) 

Capt. Hutton, in reply te some inquiries by J. Bashford, Esq. 
relating to this species, states (Journ. Agri-Horticult. Soc. India, 
IX. p.-3891, 1857), “that Bombyx Huttoni cannot be treated like the 
domestic kinds, but must (at least for the present) be reared wpon 
the trees. The worms will not remain in the trays, nor even upon 
twigs placed in water, when once the freshness of the leaf is gone. 
On the tree it is perfectly free from restlessness, and saves a vast 
expense in feeding, besides possessing the advantage of always having 
perfectly fresh food at command, an essential point in forming good 
silk, as the quality of this substance must always be greatly influenced 
by the healthy secretions of the animals producing it. 

“ Cocoons of B. Huttont produced in the house from worms placed 
upon small branches set in jars of water to keep them fresh, are 
always inferior to those produced upon the trees; and I doubt not 
you would find this to be the case with the domestic species in 
Bengal.” 

The Agri-Horticultural Society of India has lately reported most 
favourably on the silk of this species, which has been brought into 
notice by Capt. Hutton. The worm spins in all weathers, whereas 
the common silkworm (B. Mori) is apt to be thrown off work by a 
passing cloud. It is thought that this new silkworm may prove 


LEPIDOPTERA. 881 


commercially important, and Government is solicited to institute 
experiments regarding its productive powers. (Vide Madras Journal, 
March, 1857, p. 268.) 

Remark.—After examination of typical specimens of B. Hutton, 
and comparing them with the descriptions of Dr. Helfer’s B. religiosa, 
I am inclined to believe that they are one and the same species.

related to it, is given by the venerable Rumphius, in his “ Herbarium 
Amboinense,”’ vol. III. p. 113, pl. 75, who discovered the larva in 
Amboina feeding on the Mangium caseolare rubrum (Rizophora 
caseolaris, Linn.), a plant of the order of Terebintacee. ‘The 
figures of the larva and cocoon on Rumphius’s plate show its close 
afinity to the Anth. Paphia. After describing the larva and 
pupa, he continues, “ postquam tales folliculos per trium septiman- 
arum spatium servaveram, tam ex devoluto quam ex integro papilio 
exit, qui ex pulcherrimis et maximis erat, quos unquam conspexi, qui 
ad superiorem corporis partem sese demordens aperit, simulque 
secum flavescentis serici floccum educit, atque hoc semper per noctem 
peragit, Hjus corpus est, uti reliquorum papilionum, coloris squallide 
flavi, binosque digiti articulos longum, ad caput vero bina gerit 
cornicula plumacea, coloris aurantii: Quatuor magnas habet alas, 
quarum bine exteriores maxime sunt digitum circiter longe, coloris 
auranti, sed stria transversalis purpurea per illas decurrit, atque 
queevis ala in ejus medio oculum quasi gerit fenestratum, qui circulo 
purpureo circumductus est et instar vitri pellucidus.” 

Dr. Roxburgh (the next author) states this to be the Bughy of the 
natives of the Burbhoom hills, where the silk which the same people 
eall Tusseh is manufactured. A native of Bengal, Bahar, Assam, &c. 
Feeds upon the leaves of Rhamnus jujuba (Byer of the Hindoos), 
and of Terminalia alata glabra, Roxb. (Asseen of the Hindoos). 

They are found in such abundance over many parts of Bengal and 
the adjoining provinces, as to have afforded to the natives, from time 
immemorial, an abundant supply of a most durable, coarse, dark- 
coloured silk, commonly called Tusseh silk, which is woven into a 
kind of cloth called Tusseh-doot’hies, much worn by Brahmins and 
other sects of Hindoos. 

Eggs white, which hatch in from two to four weeks. The larve 
acquire their full size, which is about four inches in length, and three 
in circumference, in about six weeks. When the larve approach their 
full size, they are too heavy to crawl in search of their food with the 
back up, as is usual with most caterpillars, but traverse the branch 
suspended by the feet. When the larve are ready to spin the cocoon, 
each of them connects, by means of the recent glutinous filament of 
which the cocoon is made, two or three leaves into an exterior enve- 
_ lope, which serves as a basis to spin the complete cocoon in; besides, 
the cocoon is suspended from a branch of the tree by a thick, strong 
- consolidated cord. The cocoon is of an exact oval shape, and exceed- 
ingly firm texture. The chrysalis remains dormant for about nine

mouths, viz. from October until July, the perfect insect always. 
emerging during the night, and does not exist more than from six to 
twelve days when confined. : 

Michael Atkinson, Esq., says, “This species cannot be domesticated. 
I am informed that the natives cannot even retain any of it for seed. » 
The hill people say that they go into the jungles, and under the Byer | 
and Asseen trees they find the excrement of the insect ; on which they 
examine the tree, and, on discovering the small worms, they cut off — 
branches of the tree sufficient for their purpose, with the young brood - 
upon them; these they carry to convenient situations near their — 
houses, and distribute the branches on the Asseen tree in proportion — 
to the size thereof; but they put none on the Byer tree. The Parieahs, 
or hill people, guard the insects night and day while in the worm 
state, to preserve them from crows and other birds by day, and from 
bats by night.”—(Dr. Roxburgh, Trans. Linn. Soc. VII. p. 33, 
1804.) 

According to Col. Sykes, this is the “ Kolisurra silkworm of the 
Deccan. It feeds indiscriminately on the Sagwan, or Teak tree (Zec- — 
tona grandis), the Bor (Zizyphus jujube), the Asana (Lerminalia alata 
glabra), and the mulberry, Tut (Morus indica). The cocoons are 
extensively used by matchlock-men, cut into thongs, as ligatures for 
binding the matchlock-barrel to the stock: the thongs are more 
durable than those of leather.” 

From the Journal of the Agricultural and Horticultural Aesietyl 
of India, VI. p. 167 (1848), e¢ seqq., we extract the following notes - 
by Messrs. B. H. Hodgson and R. W. G. Frith. According to 
Mr. Hodgson, “ this is the Mwnga silkworm moth of the Meches, and — 
is found wild in the Saul forest. It feeds on the Saul tree (Shorea 
robusta) ; the fibre yielded is very strong, and must surely be that 
known to classic commerce, and used by the Romans for the manu- 
facture of the awnings of their immense theatres.” Mr. Frith says: 
—“ As far as my acquaintance with this insect extends, I believe it 
to be found throughout the whole of this side of India; that is to say, 
from the north-western range of the Himalaya direct south as far 
as Midnapore, and also through the north-eastern range to Assam, — 
and southwards to Chittagong. I have no doubt but that it extends 
further, but cannot state so from my own experience. Dr. Royle, — 
in his volume on the productive resources of India, states that it was 
found by Col. Sykes in the Bombay and by Dr. Geddes in the Madras 
presidency. I have seen it from Mussooree, and have it in my own 
collection from Kussowlee, Darjeeling, Assam, Cherra Poonjee, Sylhet, 


LEPIDOPTERA. 389 


Chittagong, from Chota Nagpore, and from several of the districts of 
Bengal. In Bengal I have taken the larva at all seasons of the year, 
excepting during the cold weather, when the trees constituting its 
food are useless. It is most abundant, I am informed, in the Bhau- 
gulpore district, where the cocoons, in their proper season, are collected 
by cartloads for the manufacture of the Bhaugulpore or Tusseh silk, 
as it is called, and now so well known. It is not on account of the 
great size of the larva that it is obliged to take to the under-side of the 
twigs to enable it to traverse them in search of food (as is [above] stated 
by Dr. Roxburgh), for it can pass along the twigs in any position when 
they are strong and thick enough for its powerfully-clenching feet to 
find sufficient to grip hold of. It is clear, when the larva approaches 
the ends of the thinner branches and twigs (which it frequently does, 
having taken it on some so slight that it has been in perfectly pen- 
dent position), it would be impossible for it to travel with ease to 
itself in such position as to keep itself wpwards ; it therefore prefers 
taking the wnder-side of the twig, and passes along it in a sus- 
pended position, with the aid of its powerful feet; for it takes 
some little trouble to make them release their hold when once firmly 
fixed. 
» “T have known the perfect insect make its appearance out of the 
cocoon in the rainy season in about twenty days. A great deal 
depends, however, upon the temperature and the state of the atmo- 
sphere, as to the number of days that are required ere the moth 
makes its exit from the pupa state. The food of the larva seems to 
be confined to the leaves of but a few trees: I found it only upon 
the Bair (Zizyphus jujuba), both wild and cultivated kinds, and on 
the Badaam, or country almond (Lerminalia Catappa). Mr. Hugon 
(see Journ. Asiat. Soc. VI. p. 32) states that it feeds, in Assam, not 
only on the Moonga trees, but also on the former of those mentioned 
above, and on the Semal (Bombax heptaphyllum). Dr. Helfer de- 
Seribes it as being taken upon and from other trees, and these are 
transplanted on to the Assun (Zerminalia alata), but that they feed 
most commonly in the wild state on the Bair and Semal trees. 
Mr. Hodgson, again, has discovered that its food is the Saul tree 
(Shorea robusta) ; since writing which, I have been informed by a 
friend that in the Midnapore district the larva feeds upon the Saul 
also. 

“Dr. Helfer (J. A. S. Beng. VI. p. 43) states ‘that, according to 
Michael Atkinson, of Jungypore, this species cannot be domesticated, 
because the moths take flight before the females are fecundated.’ 


390 CATALOGUE OF 


Dr. Helfer’s opinion does not bear cut the truth of this remark ; and 
T agree with him, as he further states in continuation, that, having 
kept them in a musquito-curtain to prevent their escape, they were 
readily impregnated by the males, and deposited thousands of eggs. 
The moths, no doubt, both male and female, will fly away, if not con- 
fined in any manner to prevent them, particularly the males, for the 
sole purpose of seeking the females. J am of opinion that this silk- 
worm might be reared and domesticated with very little care and 
attention. A female, for instance, produced from the cocoon and 
retained captive, can, as above stated, be readily impregnated by the 
males, which are so eager for the intercourse, that I have at times 
taken as many as from ten to fifteen individuals in the course of a 
couple of hours—between the hours of two and four in the morning, 
—and that for three or four nights in succession, with the aid of the 
same decoy female. The moths, both male and female, live for about 
ten days, if they are not allowed to approach each other for the pur- 
pose of reproducing their species, and this without food of any kind, 
seeing that they are not provided by nature with a mouth. 

“ Mr. Hugon states that the natives consider there are two varieties 
of this species, the Bhugy and Jharroo. I donot think so. I believe 
them to be one and the same species. The larva sometimes—for 
instance, when feeding on the common Bair of the jungles—is of a 
very dark-green colour, precisely that of the leaf itself, and might by 
some be considered as a different: species, when compared with one 
that has fed on the Badaam (Zerminalia Catappa), which is of amuch 
lighter and prettier green, with a degree of transparency at the same 
time, and a slight tinge of yellow pervading it. The fact of the per- 
fect insect being devoid of any mouth, has led me to infer that the 
secretion, which it emits for the purpose of softening the substance 
of the very hard cocoon from which it has to make its escape, is voided 
from the abdomen ; and when effected, it has to turn itself round in 
the cocoon to enable it to set to work with its two fore-feet, which 
are provided with extremely strong and curved claws, and thread by 
thread works for itself an opening through which, while yet moist, 
its escape from the cocoon is effected, and that, too, before its wings 
have in any way enlarged by expansion to impede its exit. Itis 
my intention to endeavour to ascertain this point beyond any doubt, 
if possible.”’ * 


* Capt. Thomas Hutton, in Journal of the Agri-Horticultural Society of India 
for 1856, p. 166, says, ‘‘ J doubt this, because I have fully ascertained that the

LEPIDOPTERA. 391 


_ Mr. Hodgson again says :—‘ With regard to the distribution of 
the species, I apprehend that Mr. Frith is mistaken in supposing it 
does or can occur in climates like that of Darjeeling; for Inot only never 
heard of the species here, but have failed in an experiment to rear it, 
which was carefully conducted under favourable cireumstances, from 
cocoons got in the Saul forest by Mechis in my service, who are 
habituated to rearing silkworms. Gentlemen who make collections 
in this quarter are apt to blend whatever they procure from the Tarai 
forest, and lower hills, and from the mountains above them; and I 
conjecture that Mr. Frith’s specimens of Antherea Paphia, said to 
come from Darjeeling and Cherra Poonjee, were really obtained in the 
low lands beneath those places. I notice this point because of the 
numerous and important mistakes relative to the geographic distri- 
bution of zoological and botanical species which have thus been 
propagated. For example, Mr. Ogilby was led in this manner to 
Suppose an otine bird (Hupodotis bengalensis) an inhabitant of these 
vast and precipitous and heavily-wooded mountains, and to name the 
species Hemalayensis, though it be really as little capable of dwelling 
in such a habitat, as is, I apprehend, the Anth. Paphia, or, more gene- 
rally, any species of silkworm whatever. Silkworms abound south 
and east, upon or near the level of the plains ; but I doubt if they pass 
the limits of Bengal in a north-westerly direction, even upon the 
plains; and, so far as I know, the Cosi river is their limit in that 
direction ; nor do I believe they are ever found tame or wild at ele- 
vations materially above the plain level in Bengal or in Hindostan. 
In the Saul forest they may pass up towards the north-west as far 
as that forest extends, or to Hurdwar. But the Sawl forest is hardly 
elevated at all above the level of the adjacent plain; and Cherra at 
4,000 and Darjeeling at 7,000 differ foto cwlo in characteristic pro- 


with a hard brown spine for the purpose of dividing the threads, likewise discharges 
a moistening liquid ; and although, as in Satwrnia [i. e. Antherea] it is said to 
have no mouth, yet it is, nevertheless, from the mouth, or the place where it should 
be, that the solvent is discharged. The mouth is an imperfect mouth only, and is 
not organized for the reception of nourishment, although sufficiently perfect, it 
would appear, to secrete the liquid with which the threads are moistened. When 
the agglutinizing matter is thus dissolved, the threads are easily separated by the 
wing-spines, and an opening afforded for the egress of the moth, I have this 
season watched this process in no fewer than two hundred specimens of Actias 
Selene, and can answer for there being no mistake about the matter, a drop of the 
clear colourless liquid often remaining upon the tuft of hair or down on the fore- 
head between the eyes, and which tuft appears to be used asa brush for the appli- 
cation of the solvent to the threads of the cocoon.”

ductions, as in climate, from all places situated on the low open level — 
of the Gangetic plains. The Anth. Paphia avoids the open plain, as 
well as the mountainous heights, and, as seems to me, is exclusively — 
confined to primitive forests, on the level, or near it, of the plains. 
If, therefore, the species be found wild in Bhaugulpore, Sylhet, Chit- 
tagong, or even Chota Nagpore, it is, I apprehend, confined in all 
those districts to the uncultivated and forest tracts at the base of 
their respective hill-ranges. Further inquiry as to the food of the 
wild worm of the Sau/ forest confirms my prior information that this 

species feeds almost, if not quite, exclusively on the leaves of Shorea 

robusta ; and, as that tree extends not westerly beyond Hurdwar, the - 
habitat of Kussowlee appears to me dubious, unless there be some 

mistake about the species. ; 

“ The above remarks,” continues Mr. Hodgson, “ may seem tire- 
some; but those who are aware of the stress now laid on the geo- 
graphic distribution of species, and of the numerous errors of fact 
that have crept into the subject, as relates to this quarter, from the 
souree above adverted to, will probably deem otherwise. My atten- — 
tion was drawn to the subject of the distribution of silkworms in 
India, with reference to the notices which the classics have left us 
of the ancient trade of India with the West, in the Roman times 
particularly.” 

To the above Mr. Frith replies :—“ Regarding the geographical 
distribution of the species, I am almost at a loss how to satisfy 
Mr. Hodgson as to the circumstance of its being found at Darjeeling, 
having received it from thence myself from a party collecting for me. 
Again, those from Cherra Poonjee were collected by persons on the 
spot, who are employed by me for the sole purpose of forming 
entomological collections.” 

Again Mr. Hodgson writes:—“The wide diffusion of silkworms 
throughout the continent of India in the plains seems clear, and is a 
very interesting circumstance with reference to what we find in the 
classics about the trade of India with Europe in the latter days of 
Rome, and thereafter. Mr. Taylor (Journal Asiatic Society of Bengal) 
supposed that the chief ‘things in commerce’ in those days were 
products of Assam only. But I had long before traced most of them 
as indigenous products of all India extra Gangem, from Suddiah to 
Hurdwar, leaving silk only as an apparent exception. It need be no 
longer : fine wild worms of various kinds being, it now appears, found 
north-west all the way to the debouche of the Ganges into the plains. 
So far, then, I agree with Mr. Frith. But I confess myself still quite 


LEPIDOPTERA: 393 


asceptic as to the alleged fact of the silkworms tenanting these 
mountains at elevations like that of Darjeeling.” 

In answer to the above remarks by Messrs. Hodgson and Frith, 
we quote the following by Capt. Thomas Hutton:—“ The Tusseh 
moth (Saturnia Paphia), which Mr. Frith says he has procured from 
Mussooree and Kussowlee, a statement doubted by Mr. Hodgson, 
who confines the insect to the plains and base of the hills, pointing 
out that Collectors are in the habit of jumbling species from various 
localities into the same box, and calling them a collection of Himalayan 
species. 

“Mr. Frith afterwards appeals to my letter to Mr. Westwood, as 
showing, as he imagines, from the mention of Sat. Paphia, that I had 
procured it at Mussooree. Thisis rather a bold jump to a conclusion! 
In reply to this part of the discussion, I incline to the side of 
Mr. Hodgson, whose remarks regarding the mode adopted by Col- 
lectors of specimens in general, no matter whether of birds or insects, 
are most correct. The practice here at Mussooree is this:—A person 
wishing to make a collection, either takes a native Collector into ser- 
vice, or purchases the specimens singly from independent Collectors 
who hawk about insects for sale. These native gentry, whether hired 
or otherwise, not being over fond of hard work, invariably go down 
from Mussooree into the Doon, at the foot of the mountains, and haying 
there filled their boxes, return to the hills to sell them. 

“The Collector, in most cases disdaining to know the difference 
between a moth and a butterfly, stows them all away into his boxes. 
These collections are then sent off, or carried off, as illustrative of 
the entomology of Mussooree and Landour, to which the collection 
bears about as close an affinity as the fauna of Southern India does 
to that of the Northern Provinces, species common to both being 
intermingled with others that exclusively belong to the one locality 
or the other. Thus the greater portion of species in these collections 
is exclusively lowland. 

“ Now, among the lowlanders I am inclined to include the Tusseh 
moth! I have collected at Simla and its neighbourhood, as well as 
at Mussooree; but, during my long residence at the latter station, I 
have only once in fifteen years seen the Tusseh moth, and that one 
Specimen was a female, captured in the Dehra Doon, near Hurdwar ; 
besides that, I am not altogether certain that the species is identical 
with the true Bengal Tusseh. In fact, I doubt the occurrence of that 
species in the hills, whether at Mussooree or at Kussowlee. 

“Thus far the statements of Mr. Hodgson are, | think, correct; but 


394. CATALOGUE OF 


‘when he proceeds to assert that the Saul tree (Shorea robusta) does — 


not extend westward of Hurdwar, he falls into an error that any — 
traveller may correct ; since there are splendid forests of Saul through- — 
out the Dehra Doon, and even away as far west as the Jumna, if not ~ 
farther. 

“The Tusseh moths to which I alluded in my letter to Mr. West- 
wood were all sent to me in cocoon from Bhagulpore by the late — 
Captain Don. We have here at Mussooree, and also at Simla, a species 
of Saturnia feeding on the common Hill Oak (Quercus incana), and — 
bearing a resemblance to the Tusseh moth, though much smaller, and — 
quite distinct ;—can this be Mr. Frith’s Kussowlee species ? 

“Mr. Frith mentions having ‘inspected a very fine collection made — 
by a gentleman at Mussooree, in which are no less than eleven species 
of true Bombycide, viz. nine of the genus Saturnia, one of Actias, 
and one of Saturnia Mylitta, or the true Tusseh moth.’ Now, if this 
collection belonged to a son of the late Col. Buckley,* I can easily 
clear up the mystery of the Tusseh moth coming from Mussooree, 
since it was one of my Bhagulpore specimens given in exchange for ~ 
something else: and I may as well point out that the collection to 
which [allude contained species from various parts of India, I myself 
having contributed insects from Mirzapore, Neemuch, and even from 
Afghanistan, in exchanges; while there were also a few from China! 
Besides which, Mr. Buckley’s object being to make a collection 
without noting or caring for locality, the greater number of his spe- 
cimens came, as usual, from the Dehra Doon. This (if I am right 
in my conjecture about the collection alluded to-by Mr. Frith) may 
serve to show with what degree of suspicion any collection, not made 
by a naturalist, should be regarded by scientific men both at home 
and abroad; since, by taking it for granted that the collection con- 
tamed only the species proper to the locality in which it is stated to 
have been made, the closet naturalist may be led to form the most 
erroneous conclusion in regard to the distribution of species. Nor is 
this remark to be confined to insects only, since it will equally apply 
to ornithological collections; so that any modern Adam, who may 
undertake to form a system, founded rather wpon the length and 
breadth of an animal’s tail, than upon the habits and manners of the 
species in their native haunts, and who thunders forth his dogmas 
from his artificial paradise of musty skins, may, and doubtless often 
has, put forth a host of errors for the acceptance of other naturals as 
little conversant with living species as himself. 


* This collection was presented to the East-India Company’s Museum in 1849. 


LEPIDOPTERA. 395 


_ “My own limited experience, therefore, leads me to coincide in 
opinion with Mr. Hodgson, and I accordingly reject the Tusseh moth 
from the catalogue of Mussooree and mountain species, not even grant- 
ing it a place at Kussowlee. Of true mountaineers we have, as far 
as my knowledge extends, three species of Saturnia; two others are 
found only in the depths of the warmest valleys,—such as 8. Atlas ? 
and 8. Katinka (Westw.) ; the former occurring likewise in the Doon 
along with the Tusseh moth; thus making in all six species of 
Saturnia.” 

_ Cn a foot-note, Capt. Hutton further remarks :—“ In my enumera- 
tion of the species found here, I omitted one large Saturnia, which I 
once found upon a quince-tree in the Botanical Garden ; the larva, 
when first seen, appeared to be a white cocoon on the back of a leaf, 
but a closer view showed me the caterpillar densely covered with long 
white hairs. I never procured a second specimen.’’) 

“To these we may add one species of Actias which is, I believe, 
confined to the hills from 5,000 feet upwards to 7,000 feet, and 
perhaps higher; it occurs likewise apparently in Sylhet, as Major 
Jenkins long ago kindly sent me a drawing of what I take to be this 
species. And, lastly, we have one species of true Bombyx (B. Hut- 
toni, Westw.) which occurs abundantly on the wild mulberry from 
the Doon, upwards, to at least 7,000 feet. Thus showing a list of 
known silk-spinners to the number of nine; viz. seven Saturnia, one 
Actias, and one Bombyx : more there doubtless may be, although as 
yet unknown to me; but I strongly suspect that some of those men- 
tioned by Mr. Frith as coming from Mussooree and Kussowlee were, 
in reality, natives of other localities. 

“Mr. Hodgson likewise notices the occurrence of what he and 
Mr. Frith pronounce to be the Arrindy moth (8S. Cynthia) ; and I 
have it also from Mussooree, where the caterpillar feeds on the shrub 
Mussooree (Coriaria nipalensis), and from which this station derives 
its name. Dr. Roxburgh’s figure of the caterpillar of 8. Cynthia is, 
however, so thoroughly unlike those occurring here, that, notwith- 
standing the identity (@fI may so speak) of the imago, I am unwilling 
to pronounce decisively as to the species until I have compared our 
larvee with those of undoubted 8. Cynthia from Bengal. Ours occurs 
from the foot of the hills up to 6,000 feet of elevation.” 

Lady Isabella Rose Gilbert figures the transformations of Anth. 
Paphia, and in her MS. Notes says, “ Tusser moths are hatched 
twice in the year, in May and August ; the larve go into the chrysalis 
state in September, remaining so till the May following ; whilst those 


396 CATALOGUE OF 


that enter the chrysalis state in July, come out in three weeks. Many 


a ae 


of the females lay eggs in eight or ten hours after quitting the 


chrysalis, others again do not till the following night, or longer. In 
ten days the young larve make their appearance, and feed on the 
Assun tree and the Sal Sakooa (Shorea robusta). In about three 
weeks from the time of their exclusion from the egg they attain their 
full size, and in eight or ten days more prepare for their transforma- 
tion into the chrysalis. The caterpillar commences its operations by 
drawing a few leaves slightly together, as if to screen it from obserya- 


tion. It then spins a strong cord, composed of many threads, alto- 


gether about the thickness of a crow-quill, at the end of which it 


weaves the cocoon. The cocoon is so transparent for the first six- — 


and-thirty hours, that the larva may be distinctly perceived at work 
in the interior ; after that time the cocoon gradually acquires con- 
sistence by the continued industry of the caterpillar, and becomes 
quite opaque from the addition of a glutinous liquid, with which it 
moistens the whole. When that dries, the cocoon appears as if 
covered with white powder, and in the course of a couple of days 
becomes perfectly hard. 

“The moth generally deposits its eggs within a few yards of the 
cocoon; these the villagers collect, and keep in their houses till the 
young caterpillars come forth, when they are placed on the Assun 
trees in the jungles, the proprietors remaining to protect them from 
the birds, and to bring home the cocoons when perfect. The people 
who rear these silkworms are of the Sontal and Bhouree castes, and 
_ practise many superstitious ceremonies while tending them in the 
jungles.”

figs. 2, 2a, copied from Mr. Hugon’s original figure in vol. VI. of the 
Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal, published in 1887. 

From Mr. Hugon’s remarks on the silks and silkworms of Assam, 
in the work above cited, we extract the following :—“ Although the 
Mooga moth can be reared in houses, it is fed and thrives best in the 
open air and on the trees. The trees which afford it food are known 
in Assam by the following names; viz.—1. Addakoory. 2. Champa 
(Michelia sp. 7). 3. Soom. 4. Kontooloa. 5. Digluttee (Letranthera 
diglottica, Ham.). 6. Pattee Shoonda (Laurus obtusifolia, Roxb.). 
7. Sonhalloo (Letranthera macrophylla, Roxb.). There are generally 
five breeds of Mooga worms in the year. On being hatched, the worm 
appears composed of alternate black and yellow rings; as it increases 
in size, the former are distinguished as six black moles, in regular 
lines, on each of the twelve rings which form its body. The colours 
gradually alter as it progresses, that of the body becoming lighter, 
the moles sky-blue, then red, with a bright gold-coloured ring round 
each. When full grown, the worm is above four inches long; its 
colours are most brilliant and varied in shades; the body appears 
transparent, and is of a very bright yellow or dark-green colour, with 
a brown and a yellow streak at the sides ; in the latter the breathing- 
holes are distinguished by a black speck; the moles are red, and 
have each four sharp prickles and a few black hairs; the head and 
claws are of a light brown, the holders green, and covered with short 


black hair; the last pair have a black ring on the outside. Cocoon 
fawn-colour.”’

Capt. Thomas Hutton has communicated * the following interesting 
remarks respecting this moth :—“A specimen of this splendid moth 
was brought to me on the 13th April, 1842, by a boy, who had cap- 
tured it in a deep and warmly-sheltered glen at Mussooree. The 
specimen was a female, and was found clinging to the branches of a 
tree, or rather shrub, very similar to the Tartarian honeysuckle ; it 
was accompanied by a male (iz coitw), which effected its escape. As 
the specimen was much injured by her rough captor, I suffered her 
to live and deposit her eggs, which she did on the evening of the same 


* Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. IV. p. 221; id, V. pp. 45, 85. 


LEPIDOPTERA. AOI 


day, to the number of thirty-two, each being of the size of a large 
mustard-seed, and of a mottled brownish colour. During the whole 
of the succeeding day she remained perfectly stationary, clinging to 
the window-frame, but in the evening deposited eighty-four eggs, and 
_on the following evenings she again deposited as follows :—on the 
15th, thirty-eight eggs ; on the 16th, twenty-one eggs; on the 17th, 
sixteen eges; on the 18th, twenty-one eggs; on the 19th, fourteen 
-eges; on the 20th, fourteen eggs; and on the 21st, seven eggs— 
amounting in all to 246 eggs,—and she then died. On the 28th 
April I received a male and female from the same place, and in the 
evening the female deposited eighty-nine eggs, and continued each 
night to increase the number until she had deposited 8C0 eggs, when 
she died. 
_ ©On the 30th April, or eighteen days from the time of deposition, 
the first batch of eggs began to hatch. The newly-born larva is about 
three lines in length, hairy, and of a pale rufous-red, with a single 
black band across the middle of the body, and a small black transverse 
mark on the anterior segment ; along the back are two rows of small 
tubercles, and another along each side, from each of which spring a 
few short hairs, the base of which forms a small black dot; there is 
also an anal tubercle, larger than the others, and placed between the 
two last tubercles of the dorsal rows; the head is black. 

“‘T was now exceedingly puzzled to find out the proper food, and, 
having unsuccessfully tried several kinds, at last gave them the leaves 
of our common hill oak (an Ilex), of which they ate sparingly, and 
without appetite. This was evidently not the proper food; and, 
although they continued to eat it, they did not thrive, but died in such 
numbers that I had at last only five larve left out of 546; and even 
these I was in daily expectation of losing, when, by a lucky chance, 
on the 30th of June, I discovered a single larva in the forest feeding 
on a tree known to the natives as the Munsooree.* 

“‘ Branches of this tree were now substituted for the oak, and from 
thenceforward the larve ate greedily, and increased rapidly in size. 
The first moult commenced when six days old, and this occupied 
three days, so that at the end of nine days the larva appeared in its 
second stage. The black transverse band upon the body had disap- 
peared, but the head still remained of that colour, and the rest of the 

‘body was hairy and rufous, the tubercles being black on the summit, 
and more prominent; pro-legs brown. : 


* Cortaria nipalensis,

“The period between each change was about ten days in some spe- 
cimens, but varied in others between that and shorter periods, probably 
depending in a great measure upon the quantity of nourishment 
obtained from the branches with which they were daily supplied. 

“In the third stage, the caterpillar appeared of a bright rufous 
colour, the black dots or tubercles being larger and more prominent ; 
but there were no black bands. 

“In the fourth stage the change was still more remarkable, for the 
caterpillar now appeared of a beautiful apple-green, each tubercle 
headed with bright orange, except the fowr which spring from the 
second and third segments, which are ringed with black, and crowned. 
with pale yellow; and the anal and two posterior tubercles, which are 
green throughout. From each tubercle springs a small tuft of hair, 
the centre one of each being longer than- the others; the head and 
pro-legs brown; along each side is a line which is red above and 
yellow below, and the spiracles are red; there is a line of very small 
yellow dots along each side between the rows of tubercles. 

“In the fifth stage the colours are the same, as they are also in © 
the sixth and seventh stages ; but the caterpillar increases rapidly in 
size, and is most beautiful and delicate in appearance, with a semi- 
transparency of hue which makes it look something like waxwork. 

“ One of these commenced spinning its cocoon on the 17th of July, 
being then about forty-six or forty-seven days old, and the remainder © 
after the interval of a day or two; that is, on the 19th, 20th, and 25th 
July. The cocoon is formed of coarse brown silken threads, closely 
interwoven, and of an ovate form ; it is inclosed among the leaves of 
the tree, which are, in fact, glued closely round it. It is hard, and 
not furnished interiorly with a soft silken bed, the chrysalis lying 
within a hard and hollow chamber. 

“The chrysalis remained thus until the 14th August, when the one 
which had turned on the 17th July produced a perfect female, after a 
period of twenty-nine days. Another, which had turned on the 19th 
July, came forth a male on the 16th August, showing the time to be 
pretty uniform. A large caterpillar, however, which I found in the 
forest on the 16th July, turned to a chrysalis on the 24th of that 
month ; but, instead of coming forth in the autumn, it remained in 
the chrysalis state throughout the winter—as did some others,— 
coming out in the following summer; namely, on the 11th, 14th, and 
18th of June. 

“The caterpillar feeds upon several trees common on these hills. 
The most common food appears to be the Munsooree, a shrub which 


LEPIDOPTERA. 403 


is so common as to have given rise, I believe, to the name of this 
settlement ; namely, ‘ Munsoory,’ or, more commonly among Euro- 

_peans, ‘Mussooree. I do not know the botanical name of this 
plant.”’*—(Trans. Ent. Soc. IV. p. 221.) 

“T have again reared specimens of A. Selene, and observed atten- 
tively the method by which it ewts its way through the cocoon, by 
means eA the instrument which I have named ‘the ee Be or 

‘spine.’ 

“The point of this is thrust through the cocoon, and the cutting 
edge drawn across the fibres, until severed sufficiently to enable the 
moth to come forth.”’—(Trans. Ent. Soc. V. p. 85.) 

“ Before proceeding to separate the threads of the cocoon by means 
of the wing-spines, I have ascertained that the moth ejects from the 
‘mouth a few drops of a clear, colourless fluid, with which the gum is 
dissolved ; and it appears to use the tuft of down on the front, between 
the eyes, as a brush for the application of the solvent.’’—(P. Z. 8. 
(1856), p. 5.) 

Capt. Hutton since remarks (Journal of the Agri-Horticultural 
Society of India, IX. pp. 167-9, 1856) : “I have this season watched 
the process of the escape of this moth (A. Selene) from the cocoon 
in no fewer than two hundred specimens, and can answer for there 
being no mistake in the matter, a drop of the clear, colourless liquid 
often remaining upon the tuft of hair, or down, on the forehead between 
the eyes, and which tuft appears to be used as a brush for the appli- 
cation of the solvent to the threads of the cocoon. 

“T have this year (1855) reared a number of the caterpillars for 
the purpose of ascertaining the value of the silk, but am sorry to say 
have failed in my attempts to unwind the silk from the cocoons. 
With some difficulty I managed to procure a supply of eggs from 
the moths which came forth in October, and had intended sending 
them to Europe, when, to my regret and surprise, they began to 
hatch on the 4th of November, and are still coming forth daily (10th). 
They are at present thriving on the shrub Coriaria nipalensis, grow- 
ing in the open air; but whether they will be able to spin up again 
before the frosts set in, remains yet to be seen. These caterpillars 
feed naturally on Coriaria mipalensis, Andromeda ovalifolia, the 
walnut, and I think also upon Carpinus bimana. The first-named 
shrub would probably grow well and rapidly in some parts of Europe, 
and so furnish nourishment both for the larve of Act. Selene, if found

From the MS. Notes made by Lady Isabella Rose Gilbert in 1895, 
we extract the following :—“ A specimen (female) of this magnificent 
moth was caught on the 4th September. On the following morning 
she laid several pink-and-white eggs. On the 15th the young cater- 


406 CATALOGUE OF 


pillars were hatched. Being uncertain what plant they fed on, I 
placed them on slips of different trees; viz., apple, peach, plum, &c. 
The young caterpillars were black, with numerous white spines; as 
they grew larger, and changed their skins, the spines became covered 
with a kind of white powder, giving them a very delicate appearance ; 
added to which, the ground-colour of the body, since the first few 
days after they were hatched, had become a light green. They always 
ate their skins after casting them. Day and night they devoured 
the leaves, and those on the apple-branch grew to an enormous size ; 
and, on the 12th October, one of these began to prepare for its trans- 
formation by bending back a large leaf, and inclosing itself in a web, 
which it completed on the 13th. During the three preceding days 
it had considerably diminished in size: this I have observed to be 
the case with many larve prior to their change. On the 22nd June 
following the moth came out.”

This species is distinguished from Att. Atlas “by its intensely 
dark colour, especially on that band bounded by angled and curved, 
white, defined lines, in which the fenestre occur. This band is of a 
dark blackish-brown, passing into a rich chestnut-brown above the 
fenestree of the upper wings and on their posterior margin; the 
inner margin of the lower wings is of this red-brown also; the 
fenestre are not bounded by a margin of black scales as in Até. Atlas, 
but by ochreous-yellow squamulation ; the part of the fenestre 
towards the base of the wings, which in Aft. Atlas is curved con- 
vexly, is in Att. Hdwardsii straight ; the fenestra is longer, the white 
lines on the wings, breaking up the brown so beautifully, are wider, 
and that on the lower wing is less scalloped than in Az#. Adlas ; 
the margin of the lower wing on the outside thas two much-waved 
lines, the inner is yellow, with thirteen or fourteen undulations, con- 
tinued on the upper wing till it leaves off where the wing is dilated 
into the lobe, which gives the wing its hooked-like character; the | 
lower line is brownish-black, and is straight, except in six places, 
where the black runs up the nerves triangularly to a point, and 
meets two of the yellow lobes, which are conjugate.”’

“The insect,” says Dr. Roxburgh, “ known to the Hindoos by the 
name of Arindy in some parts, in others Arwndi, appears to be peculiar 
to the interior parts of Bengal; and, so far as I can learn, to two dis- 
tricts only, viz., Dinagpore and Rungpore, where the natives breed 
and rear it in a domestic state, as they do the common silkworm. The 
food of the caterpillar consists entirely of the leaves of the common 
Ricinus, or Palma Christi, which the natives of these districts call 
Arrindy (hence the name of the insect), and is abundantly reared over 
every part of India, on account of the oil obtained from the seed. 

“ Eges pure white, which hatch in from ten to fifteen days. The 
larve arrive at their full size, which is from two and a half to three — 
inches, in about one month, during which they cast their skin three 
or four times. They are very voracious, devouring daily many times 
their own weight of food. The cocoon, or covering thereof, is white or 
yellowish, of a very soft, delicate texture, in general about two inches 
long and three in circumference, pointed at each end; in it the 
animal remains dormant from ten to twenty days, according to the 
temperature. The perfect insect lives from four to eight days, 
remaining perfectly contented in its chamber, seldom attempting to 
fly away. : 

“Mr. Atkinson remarks that ‘they are reared in a domestic state, 
and entirely feed on the leaves of the Palma Christi plant. Their 
cocoons are remarkably soft and white, or yellowish; the filament so 
exceedingly delicate, as to render it impracticable to wind off the 
silk: it is therefore spun like cotton. The yarn thus manufactured 
is wove into a coarse kind of white cloth, of a seemingly loose texture, 
but of incredible durability, the life of one person being seldom 
sufficient to wear out a garment made of it.’’”—(Trans. Linn. Soe. 
VII. p. 42, 1804.) 

The caterpillar of the Eria, according to Mr. Hugon (see J. A. S. 
Beng. VI. pp. 23, 24), “in a domesticated state at Assam, is, whén 
young, about a quarter of an inch in length, and nearly black ; as it 
increases in size, it becomes of an orange-colour, with six black spots 
on each of the segments; the head and legs are black; after the 


LEPIDOPTERA. 409 


second moulting, they change to an orange-colour, that of the body 
gradually becomes lighter, in some approaching to white, in others 
to green, and the black spots gradually become the colour of the 
body ; after the fourth and last moulting, the colour is a dirty white, 
or a dark green: the white caterpillars invariably spin red silk, the 
green ones white. On attaining its full size, the worm is about 
three and a half inches long ; its colours are uniform and dull; the 
breathing-holes are marked by a black mark ; the moles have become. 
the colour of the body, and have increased to long fleshy points, 
without the sharp prickles the Moonga worm has; the body has a 
few short hairs, hardly perceptible. , 

_ “Tn four days the cocoon is completed. The hill tribes settled in 
the plains are very fond of eating the chrysalis.”’ 

“The Arrindy Arria, or Eria silkworm is reared over a great part 
of Hindostan, but more especially in the districts of Dinajpur and 
Rangpur, in houses in a domesticated state, and feeds chiefly on the 
leaves of Ricinus communis. The silk of this species has hitherto 
never been wound off, but people were obliged to spin it like 
cotton. 

“Tt is so productive as to give sometimes twelve broods of spun 
silk in the course of the year. The worm grows rapidly, and offers 
no difficulty whatever for an extensive speculation.” —(Dr. Helfer, 
Journ. As. Soc. Beng. (1837), p. 45.) 

In the Journal of the Agricultural and Horticultural Society of 
India, vol. Il. part II. p. 61, is an account of the successful experi- 
ment of winding off the silk from the cocoon of the Eria worm. 

Some further accounts also appear in the Transactions of the 
Entomological Society of London for December, 1854, and reprinted 
in the Agricultural and Horticultural Society’s Journal of India, 
vol. IX. pt. II. p. 29.

original drawings of A. Grote, Esq. ; and figs. 3a, 3¢, 3d from those of — 
Capt. Mortimer Slater. 

Mr. Grote’s larve were “found on Hugenia and Mangifera, and 
went into the pupa state in October, 1855, the imago emerging in 
June, 1856.” 

Capt. Slater informs us, in his MS., “ Larva found at Dinapore, 
October 2, 1848. Feeds on the Pipul (Ficus religiosa) and almond- | 
tree. The mask which conceals the head (vide plate, figs. 3c, 3d) 
when at rest is curious. It is prehensile, and clasps the edge of the 
leaf while the head underneath is eating its way along.~ Instead of 
pro-legs, it has eight pairs of soft, flexible protuberances, which by a 
peristaltic kind of motion are made to serve as pro-legs, and by means 
of them the animal clings particularly strong against the surface 
even of glass.” 

Dr. Templeton (in a letter written to Sir James E. Tennant, 
November 19, 1857) says that “the caterpillar (of P. lepida) stings 
with such horrible pain, that I sat in the room almost sick with it, 
and unable to keep the tears from running down my cheeks for more 
than two hours, applying ammonia all the time. The caterpillar feeds 
on the Jasmine-flowering Carissa, in gardens.”

951. PARASA LALEANA, Moore. 


Parasa Laleana, n. sp.— Reddish-testaceous ; fore-wing with the 
exterior margin yellowish, a broad transverse ferruginous zigzag- 
margined band near the base; a black dot in the middle of the disc, 
one at the posterior angle, and a few at the apical angle; thorax 
with a black dot on each side. Expanse 12 in. 


a. N. India. Mr. Grote’s Drawing. 


The larva of P. Laleana is figured on Plate XX1., fig. 12, copied 
from the original drawing in the collection of A. Grote, Esq. “Feeds 
on Amona Rohitulla, Ixora longiflora, and Mussenda frondosa.” — 
(Grote, MS. Notes.) 

This curious and interesting larva, with its imago, is also figured 
among the drawings made by Lady Isabella Rose Gilbert, and from ~ 
her ladyship’s “ Notes” we extract the following remarks :—“ About 
the middle of October, 1825, I found this caterpillar on a branch of 
apple-tree ; the head, which was seldom perceptible, was small and

white, and furnished with a pair of minute black eyes; there were 
six exceedingly small feet placed close to the head, and eight others, 
which were so short and shapeless as scarcely to come under that 
denomination. It grew rapidly, gliding along the twigs, and eating 
the leaves. On the 22nd October it removed to a corner of the cage, 
and commenced its little web, and was completely inclosed in a few 
hours, forming an inner case. On the 12th August, 1826, the moth 
came out. It cut a perfectly circular hole in the top of the case, 
the portion cut out adhering on the lower side, acting as a kind of 
hinge.” .

LEPIDOPTERA. 419 


Stirps VIi.—Larve PILOS A. 


_ Larva elongate, pilose; some genera gregarious, others so only 


when young : evther covered with silken hairs, arranged uniformly or 
in tufts, some being provided with a dense anterior and posterior 
tuft, or an elongated fascicle projects forward from each side of 
the head ; or, having several rows or a single lateral row of fleshy 
protuberances, from which springs a tuft of silken hairs; also two 
transverse anterior short dense tufts and a single or double posterior 
protuberance. 

Metamorphosis :—Cocoon oval, firm, elongated, or fusiform, and of 

a slight texture. 

- The perfect insect has short broad wings in the male, longer and 
more ample in the female, and when at rest the hind-wings project 
beyond the anterior margin of the fore-wings; flies by day, at dusk, 
or after dark. Antennz of the male deeply bipectinated, less so in 
the female, or bipectinated at the base only, and less so thence to 
the tip in the male, and either moderately bipectinated, serrated, or 
simple in the female; proboscis very short, invisible, or obsolete ; 
abdomen long and attenuated in the male, very stout and generally 
with a lanuginose anal tuft in the female.

28th it spun a cocoon on the back of a leaf, and on the 16th September 
the moth came out (a male), ofa delicate pale-green colour. The cocoon 
of this insect was covered with small short stiff hairs, which adhered 
so closely to the hand, that pincers were necessary to extract them. 
The larva, when touched, left a sensation on the skin similar to that 
of the sting of the nettle.” 

“ On the 20th June, 1825, a caterpillar of this species was brought 
to me on a branch of pomegranate-tree, and which, after feeding 
some days, seemed restless; and on the 26th I found it had, during

Section I. 


Larva naked, vermiform ; constructs a portable silken case (or 
habitaculum*), which is, in most genera, fortified exteriorly with 
pieces of grass-stems, or sticks, or leaves, &c., in which it resides 
and undergoes its transformations. 

The perfect insect has, generally, in the male, long and narrow 
wings ; flies by day ; antenne either bipectinated throughout, or only 
so at the base, with the tip filiform or serrated, or ciliated ; proboscis 
obsolete; abdomen long, slender, and extensile. The female gene- 
rally (?) wingless, and, as in Psyche, vermiform, with rudimentary legs 
and antenne, and seldom or never quits her case, but receives the 
caresses of the male whilst still confined within. In the genus 
Fumea the female is araneiform, and has legs and simple antenne, 
and emerges from her case and sits on the outside.

“This is very commen round Calcutta, but seems confined to

The flight [of the male] is very like that of the European 
Orgyia antiqua, but stronger, and, like that insect, it isa 
day-flier. The larva is polyphagous, and I have found it nearly 
all the year round in a Jonesia tree in my garden. Female

“ Larva very delicate light blue-green on the back; with a 
bright sulphur-yellow band along the spiracles, which are black; 
immediately above this is a band of yellowish pea-green divided 
longitudinally by a pale line; a slightly-raised wart on the sides of 
each segment, from which proceeds a pencil of very fine silky- 
white hairs. Penultimate segment protuberant. ‘The parts below 
the spiracles pea-green, with a black wart immediately above each 
leg, except the last pair, which are very anomalous, resembling those 


: 
| 
| 


of Cerwra, set round with black bristly hairs, with cilia of a yellowish- _ 


green colour, and which can be protruded from the extremities at 
pleasure, as in Cerura. These legs are elevated when the larva is at 
rest, but are used for clasping the leaf or twig when in motion. The 
head is large, of a greenish fawn-colour; jaws reddish. The anterior 
portion of the segment behind the head opens somewhat widely to 
receive it, and the upper front is furnished with two erect horns of a 
dull orange-yellow, set round with black bristly hairs. Fore-legs 
red. After two or three moults, the posterior legs lose their abnor- 
mal form, and, apparently, the protractile cilie ; they remain somewhat 
long, but perform the ordinary functions of the other membranous 
legs. Feeds on Cassia fistula.’’—(Atkinson, in litt.)
